Hamid,
I am using adobe 10 and jaws 12 running windows 7.
I find that the read status line or read top line commands do not report the
total pages in the document and which page you are on i.e. 3/7 indicating I
am on page 3 of a total of 7 pages.
So if the suggested hot keys below do not work in adobe, I suggest you
simply route jaws to pc cursor and then do a page up command and down arrow
a couple of times to see the actual page you are reading followed by the /
and then a number representing the total pages in the document.
In MS word, the commands below should be reliable.
note: if you want to change any of your preferences in adobe, use control
key plus letter K while in an adobe document to open the tree view of the
various parameters or control. The various parameters or controls are
listed in a "tree view" and you can tab through the various controls to get
to the various options you have.
You use the down arrow key or first key navigation in the tree view to go to
the next parameter in the tree view. The control having to do with how
documents are displayed in the adobe program, is the tree view item
"reading".
So either press the letter R in the tree view or down arrow to "reading".
tab three times and in the combo box, you have 3 choices, the option to read
only the visible page, choice two read the entire document and item three is
to read only the visible pages in a large document.
I have mine set to the second choice "read entire document". If you use
choice one, only one page is displayed at a time and you have to use the
control key plus page up or page down to move to the next or previous page.

Hi Hamid;
Below are a few commands for navigating pages with Adobe.
Finding page number you are on; Insert/Jaws key + page down.
Prior page; Page up.
Next page; Page down.
Go directly to a specific page; Control, shift, + N, then type in the
page
number you want to go to, you might have to press enter after you type in
the
page number.
Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike

Hi,
Is there any shortcut key to hear the page number ( e.g. 5 of 44)?
Cheers
Hamid
